Reviews

• 'Grey Scale' ... retells an incident from the Second World War. For its original setting, plausible characters and realistic moral dilemma, this story was my pick of the zine. (Tavia)
• Jean Hubb's fine story, 'It's About Time', allows the reader a glimpse of Blake's suppressed desire to give up fighting and withdraw to a world abounding in natural beauties. Blake's dilemma is here represented in terms of choosing between two notions of time: mythological time - suggesting a life in harmony with Nature and its cycles; and historical time - which implies living in a man-made world, with the full awareness of one's responsibility in constructing and revising this world. The attraction 'mythological time' holds for Blake and his final decision to opt for 'historical time' are wonderfully compressed in just a few sentences. (Natasa Tucev)
